The extremely high resolution of the HRSS allows the measurement of different physical quantities by exploiting the physics of the phenomenon under study. For example, torque applied to a shaft induces strain on the surrounding housing: by measuring this strain non-invasively, torque can be directly derived.
The same principle applies to force, pressure, and other quantities. A typical workflow involves running a FEM (Finite Element Method) simulation to analyze the correlation between the target quantity and the induced strain, followed by bonding the sensor to the external surface of the component. This makes HRSS a versatile and non-invasive transducer adaptable to many industrial and robotic applications.

No. A key advantage of the HRSS is its capability for non-invasive integration. The sensor can be bonded directly to the outer surface of a mechanical component or structural element, enabling accurate measurement of physical quantities such as force, torque, or pressure without modifying the internal geometry. This reduces design complexity, lowers implementation costs, and preserves the mechanical integrity of the system under test.

The HRSS can operate with bandwidths in the kHz range. This is crucial in applications requiring fast and precise closed-loop force control, such as collaborative robotics, delicate manipulation, or high-speed assembly processes. In industrial contexts, wide bandwidth also allows capturing rapid transients and maintaining stability in systems with complex dynamics.

Thanks to its ultra-high resolution, the HRSS enables the development of ultra-stiff load cells that ensure mechanical stability while maintaining exceptional sensitivity. Furthermore, it allows the realization of load cells with an extremely wide dynamic range, capable of accurately measuring both very small and very large loads, opening new opportunities for high-performance applications.
